| When consolidating and restoring substantial volumes of legacy email data from their backup media into a new email archiving platform, a United States governmental agency
was faced with the challenge of simultaneously producing emails for 31 specific individuals across certain dates amidst the ongoing data migration process. The federal agency had extremely rigid
deadlines in order to meet Congressional subpoenas seeking legal discovery of these individuals' emails, which required productions in three phases over three weeks. |
| The governmental agency contacted RenewData to carry out the migration of their historical data from more than 350 backup tapes containing more than 25 terabytes of data to a new
email archiving platform 10 days before the first of the three phases of delivery was to be completed. Seven days later, RenewData produced and delivered six individuals' emails in de-duplicated .PST
format as scheduled. As the data migration continued, RenewData then produced emails for the second phase of six more individuals' emails - again, in de-duplicated .PST format - one week later as
scheduled. The final production of 19 individuals' email data was delivered to the governmental agency on schedule seven days later in the same required de-duplicated .PST format, in conjunction with
the ongoing data migration process. |
| These timely productions allowed the agency to satisfy the Congressional subpoenas' requests for legal discovery, without disrupting the agency's decision to migrate 25
terabytes of email data into a single archiving platform. The resulting data set was reduced to only 7 terabytes of data, exponentially saving the agency in archiving costs, and the entire migration
effort, in concert with multiple legal productions, was completed within six weeks. |
